Ford faces $23.7 mln Bronco ruling

AugustCole

SAN FRANCISCO (CBS.MW) -- Ford Motor faces $23.7 million in punitive damages after a California appeals court on Tuesday cut a $290 million jury award to a family traveling in a 1978 Ford Bronco who was involved in rollover accident in 1993.

The reduction follows a U.S. Supreme Court decision to have an appeals court reexamine the award in Romo vs. Ford.

The Fifth District Court of Appeals in Fresno reiterated that Ford did not follow safety standards when it made the Romos' fiberglass-roofed Bronco, in which three of the five people traveling in it died in the accident.
